Validation call not triggered on grid column sort / filter

[SANJEEV]

Validation used for a field in KendoGrid works fine on currently being edited cell when I try to select other cell.But It doesn't work when I try to sort any column or use filter. Is it possible to prohibit user from sorting or filtering till validation for the field passes.

Code used for validation in datasource for one of field.

01.Project:{
02.editable:true,
03.validation: {
04.custom: function(input) {
05.if(input.val()=="") {
06.input.attr("data-custom-msg", "Message");
07.return false;
08.}
09.else
10.return true;
11.}
12.}
13.}

Hello,

Generally speaking, preventing the binding when there are validation errors is not supported, but can be achieved with some additional code. Basically, you should use the dataSource requestStart event to prevent the binding with the event argument preventDefault method when there are errors e.g.

requestStart: function(e){
    var grid = $("#grid").data("kendoGrid");
    if(grid.editable && !grid.editable.validatable.validate()){
        e.preventDefault();
    }
}

Thanks Daniel. It works.    This may be a different question but related to  validation.     It seems on escape key  press, currently field being edited goes out of editable mode and  validation  won't work in this case. How can we disable escape key functionality  in this case?

Hell again,

The escape key cancels the changes and so the validation is not triggered. I am afraid that there is not a way to disable the escape key without disabling the navigation because the Grid handler will always be bound first.
